Not exactly a LeMon $$ wise but still a cool mod.

Re: 472hp mid engine CRX

When I first saw the posting tite, I thought it was a Civic with a Cad 472 big block.

This, while cool, is a bit of a let down.

Love the fountain drink cup radiator overflow.  That's just what I expect on a $12k car.  While this car may not pass smog in California, it would certainly be illegal in NYC simply because of that oversized beverage container.

"If youve ever wanted to drive something that scares the hell out of you, look no further."

This sounds like every single one of our Lemons cars albeit for different reasons entirely.  hmm

Re: 472hp mid engine CRX

I should do this with our CRX, but instead of putting a Honda engine in the rear, I need to find something more interesting.

Apparently my name is really "Craigers".  Who knew?
We might be yellow, but at least we are slow

Wow, a whole day passed and no one recommended a GM diesel or a slant six. Come on guys....
